The Iowa DOT is holding public workshops to discuss the master plan for the Lewis and Clark Trail and wants to get as many people to these meetings as possible. Iowa DOT consultants will conduct a series of workshops, traveling from town to town along the route by bicycle. These workshops will take place on July 27-30, 2009, and will provide people with the opportunity to discuss possible routes, features, and opportunities along the way. Maps, aerial photographs, and other information will be available to assist with exploring possible routes and attractions along the trail.
Iowa DOT to hold “Rolling Workshops” discussing the Lewis and Clark multi-use trail
The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), along with consulting partners, invited the public to assist in developing a master plan for a trail that will allow modern day explorers on foot, bicycle, horseback, and other to follow the scenic and historic route forged through the Missouri River Valley by Lewis and Clark more than 200 years ago.
This trail, identified by the Iowa DOT as one of five trails of significance, would extend from the Missouri border to Sioux City and could knit together roads, waterways, parks, greenways, towns, businesses, and attractions into a network to where a variety of users could discover the beauty and history of western Iowa . The goal of this network is to strengthen the economies of communities involved, provide wonderful individual and family experiences, improve health and wellness, and build a greater understanding of the region and its assets.
To make the trail as user-friendly as possible, the Iowa DOT is holding a series of workshops to gain public input into planning the Lewis and Clark Multi-Use trail. To this end, Iowa DOT consultants will conduct a series of workshops, traveling from town to town along the route by bicycle. These workshops will take place on July 27-30, 2009, and will provide people with the opportunity to discuss possible routes, features, and opportunities along the way. Maps, aerial photographs, and other information will be available to assist with exploring possible routes and attractions along the trail.
